VALENTINO
Abeautiful smile stretches over Xaze’s lips as he wraps his legs around me, his hard, ridged cock nudging mine under the surface of the boiling water. He nuzzles my nose and releases a wave of pheromones that are so powerful they make my cock jerk and my breath catch in my throat. I groan, tangling my fingers in his hair and claiming his lips in a fierce, biting kiss.
“Deliciae,” he murmurs against my mouth before licking his way inside and tangling our tongues together.
I grab his ass cheeks in both hands and carefully stand up, letting the water run off us like a sudden downpour. Xaze wraps his legs and arms around me even tighter and laughs around my tongue, sucking and nipping at it sharply. My cock jerks against the heat of his inner thigh while his ends up pressed flush against my belly, hot and stiff and pulsing with every ounce of desire that vibrates through our bond and swells in the air all around us.
I can taste my own burning need for him just as clearly as I can taste his tongue in my mouth. Through our bond, I can feel everything he feels, and the thrill of knowing how desperately he wants me, how intensely he loves me, is enough to make me dizzy with lust and adoration and so much love it’s almost too much to bear.
Xaze breaks the kiss and grabs my jaw roughly, a wicked grin tugging at his pretty lips.
“Lay me down on a pile of priceless jewels, my mate, and make me come so hard on your cock that I see deities that don’t even exist,” he commands, then gives my bottom lip a teasing bite for good measure.
I pant and nod obediently, stepping out of the tub and carrying him out of the bathroom and back to my hoard, leaving a trail of wet footprints. Our mouths find each other again, and as I suck and nip at his lips, the stray water droplets on our skin sizzle with the rising heat between us and evaporate into a cloud of steam all around us. My beautiful demon giggles and kisses his way down to my chin and along my throat. He drags his long, dexterous tongue over my fluttering pulse point, and I hiss happily at the searing heat as he flickers and swirls it against my skin in an interesting pattern. It takes a second for me to realize what he’s doing, but when I do, my cock throbs and a hot shiver rocks me.
He finishes what he’s doing and grabs my jaw again to admire his work, his demon eyes flashing with possessiveness, another jolt of lust pulsing through our bond to weaken my knees.
“Your skin looks so pretty with my name seared onto it,” he purrs. “It’s a shame it can’t be permanent.”
The burn fades with his words and I know the branding mark he licked onto my throat fades with it.
“I guess you’ll just have to do it over and over again so you can enjoy the sight of it whenever you want,” I say.
Reaching the bed in the center of my hoard, piled high with some of my shiniest jewels, I pause just long enough to crush our mouths together before playfully tossing my mate on top of the pile. Priceless pieces scatter over the floor like raindrops, and Xaze laughs again. The sound is so joyful and pure that my dragon purrs loudly, the sound rumbling through my human-shaped throat as I climb onto the bed to join my demon.
“You like that, pretty dragon?” Xaze coos, his thighs falling open wide in invitation as he splays himself out underneath me, stretching his arms up and tilting his head to offer me the long column of his throat. “You like seeing me here among all your favorite treasures, coveted and owned and protected as long as we live?”
It’s like he’s reaching right inside my head and whispering the words my dragon needs the most. There’s no teasing or lightness in Xaze’s eyes right now though. He means it.
I growl possessively, rolling my hips to grind my cock against his, letting a partial shift swell and lengthen it. Smooth, sensitive scales ripple along my shaft. His lead lolls back and he arches up to meet my thrusts. The ridges of his demon cock against my scales makes me gasp and whimper, fucking against him harder as we fall into another all-consuming kiss.
I don’t notice that he let his tail out to play until it strokes down the length of my spine, petting my skin and calling even more scales out of hiding. Precum pours from my cock like a faucet, coating his and slicking the frantic thrusts that scatter even more treasure off the bed and leave us both panting into each other’s mouths.
“I want to do the bond first, Xaze,” I rumble between kisses. “I want you to be completely mine before I fill you with my cock and give you my fire again.”
He rasps a laugh. “So traditional, wanting the wedding before the fucking.”
“As long as you don’t count the fact that we’ve had a ton of sex already and I technically bonded you while you were unconscious and nearly dead. But yeah, super traditional.”
He slides his hand along my arm until he reaches my hand. A tender feeling swells in my chest that’s too intense to be just mine alone, and he presses his hand to mine, fingers to fingers, palm to palm. The smooth metal of the ring around his finger feels warm against my skin, and I can’t think of a single object I’ve coveted more in all my life.
“I, Xazedose of the third circle of Hades, bond myself to you, Greka Drake. May our souls be one for all eternity, twinned even in death. Do you accept this ring and my mating bond, which, like my love for you, is unbreakable, irrevocable, and eternal?”
My throat tightens and my eyes burn with happy tears, threatening to fall. I nod rapidly.
“I do, Xazedose. I accept.”
I understand what he meant now about the power words hold to a demon. I could feel the weight of each one on his tongue through our dragon bond. And, as soon as I accept, they wrap themselves around us like steel, strengthening the tether we already created and weaving their way through every cell in our bodies, all the way down to the depths where our beasts reside, to knit our very essences together.
Joy and wonder and love so intense I’m sure it will shatter me into a million pieces all swell inside of me until I can hardly breathe as Xaze transfers the ring from his finger to mine, sealing us for all eternity, which suddenly doesn’t sound like nearly long enough.
“Now kiss me, dragon, before I lose my mind,” he demands, but then with all the impatience and confidence I love about him, he tangles his fingers in my hair and slams his mouth into mine first.
MONTROSE
If kissingTino was intense before, our bonds make it a transcendent experience. Every drag of his hot tongue over mine is better than any orgasm I’ve ever had. Every graze of his teeth against my lips ricochets through my body to settle in my cock.
“I love you, Xaze. I need you. Mine, mine, mine,” he growls and rasps between deep, drugging kisses, the echo of every desperate word on his lips echoing through our bond.
“Yours,” I gasp in agreement, wrapping my legs around his hips and wiggling until his cock finds its way into the crease of my ass.
The silky-smooth drag of his scaled cockhead over my hole makes my eyes roll and my insides twitch and ache with emptiness. Only for my dragon. His generous precum slicks my rim and coats my crevice, and I cant my hips impatiently as I wriggle my long tongue down his throat. His moans vibrate through me, physically against my chest and even more intensely through our bond, plucking at every cell in my body.
“Let me prep you,” he pants against my lips.
I shake my head. “No, deliciae, I only want to feel the stretch of your cock inside me. Please, don’t make me wait.” I tilt my hips again to catch his head against the rim of my hole, and we both wail with need at the sparks that dance along my spine from the gentle tug.
Tino doesn’t need any more convincing than that. With one hand tangled in my hair and the other possessively gripping my hip, he rocks into me with a gut-deep grunt, filling me to the hilt in a single thrust. His half-shifted cock is impossibly thick, and his searing hot, silky scales feel even better inside me than they did against the sensitive nerve endings of my rim. The stinging, too-full stretch punches the air out of my lungs for just a second, but it’s exactly what I need. It sharpens my senses and makes my balls tighten.
I extend my claws and drag them down Tino’s shoulder blades. He hisses and groans, and his massive cock twitches inside of me, jerking right up against my prostate hard enough to make me see stars.
“Fuck me, dragon,” I plead, clenching around him to renew the too-full feeling for just a second.
“With pleasure,” he growls, biting down on the edge of my jaw, then licking the spot to soothe it.
With my legs around him, our hands all over each other, and our bodies and souls fully entwined, he eases back and then snaps his hips forward to fill me with a jarring thrust. I moan deeply. I can feel his pleasure through our bond, the same as if it was my cock inside his hot, tight hole. I angle my hips so his next hard thrust pegs my prostate, and Tino’s eyes roll back, feeling every spark of pleasure the same way I am.
The sweet flavor of our shared lust is thick and decadent, like the best dessert imaginable, and it flows freely between us for me to gorge myself on it. Precious metals and priceless jewels rattle and clank beneath me with every thrust, digging into my back and heating to match the temperature of my skin. We grope and kiss while he fucks me harder and deeper with every movement of his hips. I’m so greedy to touch every part of him at once that I stroke my tail over the curve of his ass and tease it between his cheeks.
“Xaze,” he pants, nailing my prostate again with his next thrust, his cock swelling impossibly bigger inside of me. It lengthens until I can feel him in my guts and thickens around the base until he’s forced to rock into me instead of pulling out for full thrusts. The renewed stretch makes me howl, the girth of his growing knot pressing harder and harder against my prostate. “Can you put your tail in me?”
I moan and flick the tip of my tail around the tight pucker of his hole.
“Kinky dragon,” I purr, pulling it away from his ass momentarily to bring it towards his mouth. “Get it nice and wet for me.”
Tino’s eyes flash with heat, and he opens his mouth wide so I can slip my tail inside, dragging it against his tongue to get it nice and slick with his saliva. The lust in his eyes reflects every horny ache that pulses in our bond as I playfully thrust my tail deeper, fucking his mouth with it. He wraps his lips around it and sucks. It doesn’t have anywhere near as many nerve endings as my cock does, but I can feel his eager suction all the way through to my balls anyway. My cock jerks and throbs against his belly and he rocks into me faster.
I ease my tail out of his mouth and return it to between his ass cheeks, wetting his hole with his own spit as I pet and stroke around his rim. Tino’s eyes cloud and his knot swells so big that he can hardly move inside me at all now. Sparks dance on his lips and smoke billows between us.
“Now, Xaze,” he says, trembling from head to toe with the effort to hold back his orgasm for even one more second.
I’m right there with him, riding the high of the crest for just a moment before I shove my tail deep inside him and start to thrust against his prostate.
Tino roars and grabs the back of my neck, sealing his mouth to mine to pour a river of flames down my throat. I don’t have a conscious memory of the first time he bonded us this way, but my body seems to remember it. The intense heat of his fire filling me feels like home in a way nothing else ever has.
It’s impossible to say whose orgasm hits first, because at this moment, we’re one and the same. The blinding waves of pleasure that rock Tino to his very core are the same ones that threaten to drown me. His cock pulses and throbs deep inside of me, spilling what feels like gallons of his seed, and mine paints our skin with thick, sticky ropes. I can feel the way his ass clenches around my tail through our bond, and my inner muscles find the exact same rhythm, milking his knot to coax every last drop from him.
With a lick to my scorched lips and a shuddering breath, Tino collapses on top of me. His cock is still swollen against my prostate, sending little aftershocks of shivery pleasure through me, creating another little feedback loop between the two of us. We kiss lazily and rock sleepily against each other until a second, weaker orgasm makes me gasp and pant, canting my hips to ride out the swell of his knot before it finally starts to go down.
“You were holding out on me, pet,” I say breathlessly. “I didn’t know dragons could knot.”
“I forgot.” He laughs hoarsely, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck. “It only happens once we’re mated, and since I never expected to mate, it’s not really something I thought about before.”
I hum thoughtfully, stroking my fingers through his sweat drenched hair. I don’t need to ask if he’s happy fate proved him wrong, because I can feel every ounce of joy in his heart. “You know, forever feels so much more exciting now that I have you to share it with.”
I can feel the stretch of Tino’s smile against my skin and another little jolt of happiness shared between our hearts.
“It really does,” he says.
